This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Racing down Ilford Lane going home
Thinkin' 'bout, should I try to fake a fall
You seem to think that you're all alone
And nothing ever could change it all
Think about the words that you said
Yeah, silence on my estate
Cassette player chewed up my cassette tape
Blisters from the control pad
'Cause I was on the Mega Drive more time
If you're feeling me put your Pinot Grigio high
This ones for my G's in the North side
(Racing down Ilford Lane going home) all my G's on the East side
This one for my G's in the West side
(Thinkin' 'bout, should I try to fake a fall) my G's on the South side
The late king Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk on the telly
And I was like, "Who's bad?"
Sitting there smoking, sipping MD 20/20
Thinking I was the man
Mum's upset because I haven't given her a penny
But I just got a 20 bag
"Mum don't stress, you know I told you already
I'ma do it for you and dad"
So I was out on the grind
On the 279, tryna to show my songs to the world
Inspired by the streets
Fell in love with the beats
I never had time for a girl
I never really cared about a haircut
I was in the club doing the 2-step
Wishing it was me on the decks
Wanted to do it for the love
It took some perseverance and discipline
Couldn't wait to get the whole world listening
I remember when I first went radio
I couldn't believe it was in the kitchen
Your mixing and reality kicks in
Smoking to calm my nerves and settle me down
It feels like I'm in a crystal maze
Somebody give Richard crystal and get me out
In 1 mile I've seen 2 fights
Blue tape, blue lights
Single mom struggling with the push chair
She had a bad mouth but she had good hair
Stole a phone in the shop getting looked at
Barbershop, hairline's getting pushed back
Guys looking at me like they wanna fight me
Just another day on the High Street
Yeah, and now I'm back on the estate
My CD keeps skipping when I press play
Four memory cards full of music
'Cause I was on the PlayStation more time
If you're feeling me put your Pinot Grigio high
This ones for my G's in the North side
(Racing down Ilford Lane going home) all my G's on the East side
This one for my G's in the West side
(Thinkin' 'bout, should I try to fake a fall) my G's on the South side
Thinkin' 'bout, should I try to fake a fall
You seem to think that you're all alone
And nothing ever could change it all
Think about the words that you said
Yeah, silence on my estate
Cassette player chewed up my cassette tape
Blisters from the control pad
'Cause I was on the Mega Drive more time
If you're feeling me put your Pinot Grigio high
This ones for my G's in the North side

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
